And Then, Oakland Stopped Making Errors: A's 5, Dodgers 4
Kind of a lousy game for Hiroki Kuroda, who's only had one good game since returning from the DL, his June 6 outing against Philadelphia. Kuroda gave up all five runs, all of them earned, four of them on home runs.
By far, the most entertaining part of this game was the bottom of the seventh, and not just because the Dodgers came back; it was the manner of the comeback that made it so enjoyable, for the A's managed to assemble a frame full of fielding fun:
- Jack Cust clanked a routine fly ball, allowing Orlando Hudson to reach and putting men on first and second with nobody out.
- Then, Orlando Cabrera dropped an infield fly. This had no effect on the outcome of the game, but it sure did cause Cabrera to have a big sheepish grin afterwards.
One of those games, I guess.
And an incidental congratulation to Mitch Jones, who got his first major league hit in this game, a bleeder off the glove of — I think — the second baseman, Kennedy in the eighth.
